Hi, everyone!

I am interested in Linux, but wasn’t able to use it on my system, because of the lack of wifi drivers. Now here’s my question: Are there any Linux distros, that support wifi out of the box?

    You should have a look at this app A tool to probe for hardware, check operability and find drivers with the help of Linux hardware database

    Otherwise MXLinux should find the driver.

    In worst case you could buy a wifi extender with ethernet output. Bonus is you dont have to install the proprietary driver ;)

      Everything sounds nice, but I guess, due to driver compatibility and bc im a student, that needs to use Windows, i’ll stick to it. Anyway, thanks for helping! :)

        I am also a student, a vocational training one (post-high school and pre-university). The “driver compatibity” -> hardware compatibility use to be better in these systems.
